Child of the night,

Hidden from the light,

Child of the rain,

Soothing all your pain.

Nighttime hides your fears,

Rain blends with your tears,

The lightning and the storm

Excite and warm you.

Lightning sparks the air,

Thunder rumbles everywhere,

Darkness closes in

As nighttime just begins,

And you become alive.

It seems to make you thrive.

I watch you standing there,

Wind blowing through your hair,

Your eyes reflect the sparks,

As lightning breaks the dark.

The excitement grows within you

and you smile,

As thunder blasts around us all the while.

A Nightchild,

Felling free and wild,

And like your friend the wind,

Your caress is warm and mild.

Like a child of the rain,

You never stay the same.

The thunder will excite you,

The lightning will ignite you,

And when the storms relinquished

And a new day has begun,

There's so much you left unfinished,

But you're tamed beneath the sun.

I watch you standing there,

Wind blowing through your hair.

Your eyes reflect the sparks,

As lightning breaks the dark.

The excitement grows within you

and you smile.

As thunder blasts around us all the while.

You lift your face to feel the rain

Cleanse away your secret shame.

All the years of shedding tears

Are left behind you now.

Come let me show you how

Love smooths a furrowed brow

And leaves you free

To face the light somehow
